MHA to submit report on Shunglu committee probe

Action Taken Report on findings of committee that probed alleged irregularities in execution of Commonwealth Games projects

PTI | August 10, 2011



The home ministry is likely to submit its Action Taken Report on the findings of Shunglu Committee that probed alleged irregularities in execution of Commonwealth Games projects to the prime minister's office next week.

Official sources said the home ministry has received the responses of the Delhi government, Delhi Development Authority, New Delhi Municipal Council and Municipal Corporation of Delhi on the Shunglu Committee report and now preparing the ATR to be submitted to the PMO.

"We will tell the PMO what action has been taken or could be recommended on the findings of the Shunglu Committee. Hopefully, we will send the report next week," a source said.

While forwarding the report to the agencies concerned, the home ministry had asked them to explain their position on the findings of the Shunglu Committee and what action they were taking on it.

The Shunglu Committee has allegedly held the agencies responsible for lack of oversight and decisions that led to cost escalation.

Prime minister Manmohan Singh had on October 25 appointed a two-member high level committee under the chairmanship of former comptroller and auditor general V K Shunglu to look into various aspects of corruption and other deficiencies in the conduct of mega sporting event held here between October 3 and October 14 last year.
